New York Times TV?

February 6th, 2006 2 comments

Did you know that the New York Times has its own Internet TV newtork?

Me neither.

How do you keep something like this secret when you own one of the most widely read newspapers in the world?

Anyway, it’s pretty good. In fact, CNN better wake up.

Note the number of "channels" they have (see the right hand column of their video home page.)

One of my favorites is the weekly technology columm by David Pogue.

Google and video search

February 1st, 2006 5 comments

Google has been making video available for several weeks now.

The service evolved from free videos to a mix of free and paid:
http://video.google.com

The service has its own blog – http://googlevideo.blogspot.com – and its own discussion board:
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Labs-Google-Video

‘Rubber meets the road’ questions about how to use Google’s service and how to add your own videos to it is available here:
http://video.google.com/support

Most interesting to me about all this is the search question.

McCarthy’s Rule of Money:

"Money doesn’t sit still and when it chooses
a new favorite, it starts slow and then moves
stampede-style."

Yes – and it’s also animation.

Flash, Real, QuickTime, or Media Player.

Which way to go?

A subscriber suggests that the prevalence
of Media Player and Real Video has more
to do with the effectiveness of the
corporate sales departments of those
companies than anything else.

But a good sales pitch can only take you
so far.

They laughed when I sat down

December 29th, 2005 2 comments

"They laughed when I sat down at the piano,
but when I started to play…"

It’s one of the most famous direct response
headlines of all time.

Ad legend John Caples wrote it when he was
still in his twenties.

It was an ad for music lessons and not just
any music lessons, but a new-fangled, modern
age version: music lessons delivered by mail.

Eat, drink and be merry

In 1994, I ended a talk I gave about the
future web with this statement:

"Someday we’re doing to look back and
wonder how we ever got a long with such
primitive technology."

As I looked at the videos on the Food Network’s
web site a similar thought ran through
my head. This time it sounded like this:
